cerebrum containing
70% of the neurons in
the CNS
What is the:
Cerebral Cortex

The half of the brain in
charge of time sense,
speech, writing, and
rhythm
What is the:
Right Brain
My What a Big Brain You Have - 500
The fact that humans
are more intelligent
than other animals is
particularly related to
this
What is:
Corticalization
Charting the Brain’s Inner Realm - 100
A device that detects,
amplifies and records
electrical activity in the
brain
What is an:
EEG
Charting the Brain’s Inner Realm - 200
X-ray information is
collected and formed
into an image of the
brain using this device
What is a:
CT scan
Charting the Brain’s Inner Realm - 300
This scan allows us to
see the living brain as
if it was transparent by
using a magnetic field
What is a:
MRI
Charting the Brain’s Inner Realm - 400
Detects subatomic
particles emitted by
weakly radioactive
glucose as it is taken
by the brain
What is a:
PET scan
Charting the Brain’s Inner Realm - 500
Surgical removal of
parts of the brain
causes us to see the
purpose of the missing
part
What is a:
Ablation
LOBES - 100
It is located at the back
of the brain and it is
where vision is
registered
What are the:
Occipital Lobes
LOBES - 200
Located above the occipital
lobes; touch, temperature,
pressure and other somatic
sensations are registered
here
What are the:
Parietal Lobes
LOBES - 300
Located at each side of
the brain; auditory
information is
registered here
What are the:
Temporal Lobes
LOBES - 400

motor control, sense of
smell and higher mental
functions are controlled by
this area

At the Core of the Matter - 200
Has a major role in
producing emotion and
motivated behavior
What is the:
Limbic System
At the Core of the Matter - 400
Part of the limbic
system associated with
fear response
What is the:
Amygdala
At the Core of the Matter - 600
Part of the limbic
system associated with
storing memories
What is the:
Hippocampus
At the Core of the Matter - 800
A brain structure that
controls posture and
coordination
What is the:
Cerebellum
At the Core of the Matter - 1000
Two of the most important parts
of your body buried within your
brain. One acts as "switching
station" for sensory messages
and the other is a kind of master
control center for emotion and
many basic motives
What are the:
Thalamus and
Hypothalamus
Hormones and Behavior - 200
Carried throughout the
